Court OKs Repeated Tasering of Pregnant Woman
Found on Wired on Monday, 29 March 2010
The lawyer representing Malaika Brooks said Monday that the court's 2-1 decision sanctioned "pain compliance" tactics through a modern-day version of the cattle prod.
"Although she had told the officers she was seven months pregnant, they proceeded to use a Taser on her, not once but three times, causing her to scream with pain and leaving burn marks and permanent scars."
An officer was holding Brooks' arm behind Brooks' back while she was being shocked.
It's all about beating those people into submission who don't need a new set of pants as soon as some officer on a power-trip eyes them. Not too long ago, you considered it science fiction which will never come true when you saw movies where cops in armour randomly shoot and beat up citizens. Well here it comes.
